Chapter 67: Slander



Drinking chrysanthemum tea in this weather, Miss Hua might have some unspeakable secret in her mind, right?

"Well, Senior Brother has been restless recently, so I specially cooked some for him."

Hua Yunyun nodded and said, "Come, Senior Brother, the temperature of this tea is just right."

He picked up the teacup and handed it to Lu Li, while Juan'er beside him quickly stopped the tea.

"The princess said that it's autumn now and we shouldn't eat cold foods. My dear husband, please drink what the princess ordered me to prepare."

He put the tea he had stolen from Hua Yunyun on the tray, and then poured a cup of tea he had prepared for Lu Li.

Hua Yunyun was furious by this action, but since Lu Li was here, she couldn't get angry.

"Juan'er did remind me, it was my fault for neglecting it."

Hua Yunyun smiled slightly and spoke softly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Juan'er was not someone who didn't know how to read people's expressions, so she could naturally see that Hua Yunyun was dissatisfied with her, but so what?

She was not afraid at all of what Hua Yunyun would do to her, because as long as Hua Yunyun dared to attack her, she believed that the eldest princess would avenge her.

Lu Li took the tea handed to him by Juan'er and took a sip, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

He really couldn't figure out Li Han.

He had been inexplicably ignored for several days, and now he had someone prepare tea and pastries for him and asked him to keep warm.

"By the way, where did this sister-in-law go? Why haven't I seen her in the past few days?"

Hua Yunyun asked in a puzzled manner.

Of course she knew where Li Han had gone and what he had done, but she just asked about it on purpose to make use of the opportunity.

"Stay in the windy building."

Lu Li responded calmly.

"This sister-in-law is the same. She's always out and about. How can she be so public? She doesn't even think of spending more time with my brother and sharing his worries."

Hua Yunyun sighed and said helplessly.

Juan'er was unhappy when she heard this.

"While the Princess is away, isn't there Miss Hua accompanying the Prince Consort? If you stay here, our Princess won't dare to disturb you."

Juan'er was fearless, knowing that Hua Yunyun would not do anything to her. Not to mention other times, even at this moment, Hua Yunyun did not dare to make any move and could only endure and pretend, so Juan'er was particularly unscrupulous.

"What do you mean by that? It's as if something has happened between me and my senior brother."

Hua Yunyun could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

How dare a mere maid be so arrogant?

What kind of master brings out what kind of servant!

"I don't know what happened, but the master and I know that you two have a deep bond. So, no matter what injustice you have suffered, I can only grit my teeth and swallow it, fearing that it will damage your relationship and alienate everyone's feelings."

Juan'er said this in a sarcastic tone, then she picked up the tea and pastries that Hua Yunyun brought over and was about to leave.

"stop!"

After hearing Juan'er's words, Lu Li's face darkened, and when he saw her about to leave, he called out to her coldly.

Juan'er, who had just turned around and was about to leave, suddenly froze and her heart began to beat faster and faster.

As expected, the Prince Consort is not someone you can easily mess with...

She started to get scared just by hearing that sound.

But despite her fear, Juan'er still suppressed her fear and calmly turned around to look at Lu Li: "My dear Prince Consort, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"What did you mean by that? What wronged her?"

How come he doesn’t know what grievances Li Han and the other two have suffered?

Besides, why didn't you tell him about the injustice you suffered? Is he really that unreliable?

"As the princess's husband who shared her bed with you, don't you know what kind of injustice she suffered?"

Juan'er sneered. It was not that she was not afraid, but that she felt it was not worth it for her master.

Lu Li was speechless because he really didn't know?

"How dare you, a lowly servant like you, speak to my brother like that? It's all right if you treat me like this on ordinary days, but why are you still so presumptuous when you're with my brother?!"

Hua Yunyun scolded her harshly, "Master's Wife is the eldest princess, and is extremely favored by the current emperor. How could she tolerate being wronged? Who dares to make her unhappy?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Hua, I was bought by the Princess, and only she can discipline me. Also, some people know that the Princess is their boss, but they still knowingly commit crimes against their superiors."

Juan'er's implication was that Hua Yunyun was not worthy of teaching her a lesson.

Hua Yunyun was so angry at Juan'er that she wanted to curse, but Lu Li stopped her with a look.

"Han'er has been avoiding me these past few days and has been very cold to me, so I don't know what happened to her."

Lu Li stood up and looked at Juan'er and explained, hoping to find the answer from her.

"What else could it be? That day at the banquet, the princess was drugged by Miss Hua. As her husband, the prince consort didn't protect her, but he actually protected those who wanted to harm her. How could the princess not be heartbroken? That was the princess's birthday banquet! Miss Hua even went and boasted about it to the eldest princess, which is why she left you two there that day."

Juan'er said unhappily.

It was also because her master had a good temper. The two of them had already done this, but she still didn't kick Hua Yunyun out of the house. If it were her, she would have kicked this hateful Hua Yunyun out long ago! Why would she let her run wild on her floor?

"I don't know where you two went that day. When the princess went back to look for her husband, she didn't see you. She thought you were kidnapped by bandits and even asked the emperor to send people to look for you. She also wandered around the capital again and again. The coachman and I were worried that the princess couldn't handle it, so we coaxed her back with all our might. Otherwise, she might have been wandering around all night!"

Lu Li frowned after hearing Juan'er's words.

So the reason I was sweating that day was not because of running in the yard, but because I was worried about him and kept walking around in circles outside.

When I came back and saw him in the study, I didn't go in. I really had no business looking for him. I just wanted to confirm whether he was in the study.

"Don't spit blood here!"

Hua Yunyun pointed at Juan'er and said with trembling fingers.

As for why he was trembling? Of course, it was because he was irritated by Juan'er!

Juan'er snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to this woman.

"Yunyun, don't let this happen again. This is the last time I'll help you. If you do it again, being thrown in jail won't be a punishment."

Lu Li's face couldn't be any darker at this moment.

I felt a little more annoyed with Hua Yunyun.
